Sarah Muirhead is a highly accomplished figurative artist, renowned for her meticulous attention to detail. Specialising in both painting and drawing across a range of graphic media, her work predominantly explores the adorned and decorated human body, often combining it with powerful representations of apocalyptic and dystopian landscapes.
Muirhead’s art is characterised by its complexity and intensity, offering an intricate examination of the human form alongside haunting, imagined worlds.
Her compositions are densely layered, with her subjects artfully posed in dynamic, angular, and sinuous arrangements that evoke a sensual, Klimt-like eroticism. The human body is brought into sharp focus, cinematically cropped for dramatic impact.
Many of her models are heavily tattooed, draped in jewellery, and adorned with cryptic symbols, creating a scene reminiscent of a court of decorated figures, each inscribed with hidden meanings. These individuals, captured in Muirhead’s intimate studies, belong to a hermetic group, bound by a complex array of esoteric knowledge.
